Holy smoke! Jacob Rees-Mogg claims saying the Rosary in Latin will make you healthier
We don’t often opt to share claims from this guy – or this channel – but some things have to be seen to be believed. This one has to be seen to not be believed.
Reciting the Holy Rosary out loud in Latin will benefit you in this world and the next. pic.twitter.com/kby8nvf2zh

“When the rosary is said vocally in the official language of the church – that is Latin – it slows the breathing down to around six breaths per minute, almost the exact same time as the endogenous circulatory rhythms.
This is known to have a calming effect on the mind and the body.”
At least there was some vaguely scientific basis for the claim – although, not for Rees-Mogg’s ‘eternal life’ postscript, obviously. We fully expect it to be the government’s policy to replace the NHS before the next election.
He didn’t have a prayer of being taken seriously.

If there is a next world – which, personally, I don't believe – I can imagine whoever is in charge awaiting you with a ledger of your words and deeds, and requiring a very long explanation… https://t.co/lTuYMWSjP6

Jesus preached;
Da pecunium omnen paueribud.
That dear Jakey – is Latin for.

You can say it in any language you want, but it won't change the fact "You ain't no Christian Bruv"
